Eliminating Critical Software Errors in Embedded Code

Jay Abraham, MathWorks

Increasing software content and complexity in today’s embedded devices amplifies the risk of failure and complicates the process of achieving high confidence in safety and reliability. Traditional software testing methods are limited in scope and static analysis based testing produce high rates of false positives. Formal methods based abstract interpretation is quickly becoming the solution of choice, because it proves the absence of a defined set of run-time errors in code.

In this webinar learn how these new techniques can be applied to the development of critical embedded applications where software quality is at stake.
